Default Blocked package

While trying to "emerge --world", I get the message

"
[blocks B ] =kde-base/kdebase-3.5* (is blocking kde-base/kwin-3.5.2-r2)
"

I can't find any reference to =kde-base/kdebase-3.5* in any keyword, or
mask file. Or I'm not looking in the right place.

You cannot safely mix split and monolithic ebuilds for KDE. At least
not without a very great deal of thought and effort. You should select
one and unmerge everything related to the other.

I can't seem to get kdebase-3.5* to unmerge or go away. nor can I find
any reference to the old package.

See if you don't have kde-base/kde and kde-base/kde-meta both in your world,
as this could cause this problem (and a lot other blocking too).

I assume that the file name is /var/lib/portage/world
the only meta I could find was kdebindings-meta
